AM Antenna Connections
An AM loop antenna is included in the installation instructions bag.
Take out the connection fine and connect it to the AM antenna
terminals. This loop antenna can be placed on top of any stable
surface or attached to a wall. Try several positions to determine
which gives the best reception. Be sure the antenna is not near a
speaker, power cord, television set, VCR, or motorized appliances.
When using an external AM antenna, do not remove the loop an-
tenna; connect both antennas to the AM antenna terminals.

will cause hum. Turntables not provided with GND wires do not
need to be connected.

on
a
firm
shelf
or
deck
free
from
vibrations
(especially those generated by the speaker system). If the
turntable is permitted to pick up such unwanted vibrations, not
only with the performance of the unit drop, but distortion in the
bass frequencies and howling in the speakers may also occur.
Check the turntable instruction manual for any other precautions.
3. The loud noises that occur when connecting and disconnecting
the turntable leads, replacing the cartridge or lowering the
tonearm could damage the speakers. Always turn the power
switch off before making connections.
4. If an ONKYO turntable with remote control jack is used with
this unit, the remote control transmitter can also be used to start
and stop turntable operation. In this case, the turntable and
TX-906/904 must be connected with a remote control cable.
Insert the plug into the PHONO jack of the REMOTE CONTROL
on the rear panel of the TX-906/904. (Please refer to “Con-
nections for Remote Control”.)
